The latest gossip about Arab celebs that is doing the rounds:

Lebanese singer Elissa dreams of falling in love and having a family of her own. She says she will never stop trying to find true love until she finds the right man and lives happily ever after. She went on to say that if she liked a guy, she would walk up to him and not shy away from talking to him.

She has come a long way since her early career. In a recent television interview, she talked about the days when she wasn't famous and said that she would never forget that period of her life.

Hardest

Elissa revealed that the hardest experience of her life was during the illness of her father. The singer, who comes from a very poor family, now lives in a posh apartment. Since her success, she has also bought her family a flat in Adonis, in the northern suburb of Beirut.

Having come so far and with the right approach to would-be suitors, Elissa's dreams of major success and happiness seem within her grasp.

'I am humble'

Famous TV host Razan Mograby says 'nothing stays forever'

Lebanese TV host Razan Mograby, who spent Valentine's Day at the premiere of her Egyptian movie, said that she has no time for love.

She said that she doesn't even have the patience for love. "It always finishes with heartbreak. I always get lied to," she said.

'Work like crazy'

Razan, who has lived in Cairo for five months, sleeps only for three hours a night. "I work like crazy. This reminds me of when I arrived 12 years ago in London. I used to work like a bulldozer," she said.

Razan, who admires Lebanese diva Sabah, said that the most important thing for an artist is to stay humble. "I am humble because nothing stays forever. We are not discovering the cure against cancer," she says.

Acting-wise, Razan has already shot two movies in Egypt and has plans to shoot two TV programmes.

Star rivalry

Things are not going well between Nicole Saba and Razan Mograby lately. Rumour has it that Nicole, who is making an Egyptian movie, is jealous of her blonde and sexy compatriot, Razan, who is talented and ambitious. Though both can act well, Nicole is more famous as a TV MBC host.

Last week, Saba was singing in a show sponsored by one of the biggest mobile phone companies in Egypt.

Also last week, Nicole Saba published a communiqué concerning the programme Ad Al Nahar that will be shown on TV screens during Ramadan. The press release says the viewers will notice that there is not just one star in the programme but a group of actors who are the stars of the TV show. Saba added that she chose to act in the programme because it was an important opportunity.

As if her schedule isn't busy enough, Saba will perform in Abu Dhabi along with Amr Diab on April 11.

Happily married

Lebanese star Ragheb Alame denied rumours of a second marriage. News of his second marriage was published in a website recently and reported that Ragheb divorced his wife, Jihane, who is a jewellery designer, and married another woman.

Still in love

The Lebanese star, who has two children, said that he is still in love with his wife and is surprised by the rumour. He said that he doesn't care about lies and all that he cares for now is his new album, Newborn, which is due to be released in May.
